Summer BBQ Colour Palette

The colours of a proper summer barbecue: charcoal grey of the grill, ketchup red on a paper plate, mustard yellow squeezed generously, the green of the garden, and the golden amber of a cold beer catching the sunlight. This is bank holiday weekends, burnt sausages, and someone's dad insisting the coals are not ready yet. For food brands, outdoor living, summer events, beer brands, and anything that wants to feel like the best Saturday afternoon of the year.

Usage guidance

Ketchup red is your primary, bold and appetising, use it for headers, primary buttons, and hero sections. Mustard yellow brings warmth for secondary elements, hover states, and supporting content. Garden Green adds freshness for success states, tags, and outdoor-related elements. Cold Beer gold works for premium accents and highlights. Charcoal Grill handles your body text with a smoky, warm tone. Use a warm white or cream background to let these colours feel like a sunny garden.
